Washington (CNN) – Self-proclaimed birther Donald Trump is now so doubtful of President Obama's birthplace that he's sent a team of his own investigators to Hawaii in hopes of getting to the bottom of the issue.
That's according to Trump himself, who, in an interview with NBC, warned his investigators just might uncover "one of the greatest cons in the history of politics and beyond."
"I have people that have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding," Trump said an interview that aired Thursday Morning.
Asked if he has assigned people specifically to search in Hawaii, Trump said, "Absolutely."
The business mogul, who in a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll is tied for second place among potential presidential candidates, also suggested the president is involved in an ongoing cover-up over the matter.
"He spent $2 million in legal fees trying on to get away from this issue, and if it weren't an issue, why wouldn't he just solve it?" he said. "I wish he would because if he doesn't, it's one of the greatest scams in the history of politics and in the history, period. You are not allowed to be a president if you're not born in this country. Right now, I have real doubts."

Why did he wait so long to do this?
He sure is stirring up a pot of poo over this one isn’t he?
Grab the popcorn ladies and gentlemen, this could get good.
I’m not a fan of this being a major political topic with so many other failings out in the open. However, it’ll be interesting to hear what “The Donald” finds ...
If he finds something that Slick Willie and the Hildebeast missed, they’re gonna have coronaries.
Take a good look at what a REAL New Yorker is like!
Taking no sh*t from Obama!
What a fun interview!
Availability of viable information?
I’m sure the Donald never asks a question he doesn’t know the answer to.
At this moment, the Saudis, Libyans, Jordanians, Russians, Chinese, Japanese, South Korean, and Vatican diplomats are flying to Hawaii to hand off records to “Trump’s People”, since the same information they have been sending to Eric Holder has been shredded.
I’m sure the interview was rife with ad hominems and no actual refutation of Trump’s assertions.
Well, no one else would even bring up the issue . . . neither Rush, Hannity, Beck, Malkin, Coulter . . . NONE OF THEM until now, and then they kinda' refer to it briefly . . . I'm so disgusted with our conservative voices for having ignored this issue as if they've been threatened with death or something.
I hope "the Donald" has used his billions to surround himself with body guards at every step.
He needs to stay away from parks after dark, lest the Zero put Hillary on the case and The Donald gets himself “Fostered”.
What about the state legislators?
It seems they go right up to the wire on eligibility requirements, then bail out.
What will he uncover that the Governor of Hawaii could not?
Translation... Trump is doing what we( the media and press) should have done a long time ago, but ignored because we love Obama.
Agreed.
My bet is Trump already has all the goods and this “team of investigators” is now re-playing everything in front of the media. The “investigators” will know EXACTLY where to go for info as it has been gleaned once already..
Wow. And this is from CNN.
Go Trump, go — that’s all I can say.
If this is for real, I’ll eat my hat.
Similar to when the DNC sent investigators to Alaska in 2008.
